		Benefits of coaching for you as a 'trailing' spouse The Expat Coaches’ aim is to support trailing spouses to get the most out of their time abroad. We want you to benefit fully from the opportunities of the expat life and develop a personal life plan (for yourself and your family). A regularly focused 45 minutes can really make the difference. We challenge you because we’re convinced it will work for you and we will be more than happy to join you and support you as your own ‘personal navigator’. People with a coach will take action sooner, have a more balanced life, reach for more, make better decisions and have more energy. If YOU want to make a change, you can: Find out what your values and needs are Explore your talents Define direction and achieve goals Enjoy the international experience Be prepared to return home or go on a new assignment Set priorities Make a career change Live your dreams Improve self confidence Start a new education Bring more balance in your life How does it work? We will call ‘the regularly focused 45 minutes’ coaching sessions. They can be either by telephone or in person. Coaching by telephone, supported by e-mail, is becoming more common. Especially as an expat you can be anywhere on the planet and have your personal coach anywhere else on the planet.
